Our guest reviews for Mercure Canberra

Room was comfortable, quiet & had all amenities required. The bathroom was a good size with a larger shower than normally found. Plenty of space with good sized work desk and a small balcony. Bed was extremely comfortable & provided a great night's sleep. Secure parking at rear of building, nice courtyard with benches to sit under tress/near the water feature; on-site restaurant & adjoining bar/bistro. Location is excellent, being walking distance from the War Museum & only a short drive to city centre. Staff at reception were excellent - friendly, social & very professional. The only issue would be during inclement weather & having to walk from the car park to the rooms, which is in the open. You could however, access the building & walk through the internal corridors if this was the case

« Comfortable and coveniently located for veterans attending war memorial functions. »

Comfortable and quiet, nice to know it is dog friendly will be bringing ours next time. Close to everything even with bung legs and back it is not to far to walk to town or the War memorial. Great place to stay if you are flying, no need to hire a car.

« Old charm stay »

We love staying at your hotel and have stayed many times. Unfortunately our experience at breakfast wasn’t good. The buffet closed at 11 and we arrived at 10. From the time we arrived we felt rushed. The waiter kept hovering cleaning away our things and at 10 45 we were asked if we had finished with the buffet and they started packing up things. We felt awkward and rushed.

« Great Staff »

It is a great reflection on management that all staff appeared to be happy in their jobs and felt empowered to chat with guests. Staff were unfailingly helpful. The buffet breakfast was excellent. While the Mercure is a hotel it has a welcome home atmosphere.
